Thanks! What you are saying is that you don't want any feedback.

I am sure we do (as always). I think we already got (imho) enough feedback and need to proceed best as possible (within our constraints) to satisfy what folks want.

What I hear is that people like that the results in the special page are "live" (vs. cached) and they use the iwlinks filter. I think we can adjust how the query works to make if fast enough to not require caching (except maybe "squid" caching for a minute).

Also, some people are interested in having results sorted by how old the page is (so people can find recently create pages, or other way around). For the most part, page_id provides this while also being better choice performance-wise. It is also consistent with how Special:PagesWithProps works. (Special:PagesWithProps is also pretty fast, thus it doesn't need to be a cached special page)

I think we can also extend QueryPage so that we can make this information available in the api. (sorting by page title is not very suitable for QueryPage) and if for some reason we still need caching now or in the future, then it would be more easily possible if we extend QueryPage.

Cheers,

Katie
